With two adults and five children, our house is always cluttered. I'm making it my mission to make it uncluttered, or at the very least, feel uncluttered. I am in a challenge to rid this house of 150 items by January 31st. I am just over 100 items currently and most of these items are big ~ infant toys, TVs, lamp, etc. It feels so good to get rid of things you don't use or need.
I found this great site called Organized Home. They have a lot of great advice on cleaning, decluttering and organizing your home. It's for real people, with real families, real lives. You can work it into your everyday life. I'm currently doing the 14-week Spring Cleaning Challenge.
Doing it over time may actually make it a completable task! And our everyday routine and normal chores won't be sacrificed.
I'm sure my blogs will be slow as I do not want to give up on this. Wish me well!

Yuckiness!
What a dreary day! It's raining and just plain blah outside. We might even had thunderstorms later. Now I'm not a winter person at all and actually prefer 90 degree weather but it's January and they are calling for 70s tomorrow. Come on now.
This warmer than usual weather has most of this house sick. Jordan had a horrid ear infection but is doing fine now. Jasmine and Jacob have a constant cough and runny nose. James has seemed to fair fine so far. He rarely gets sick and neither does Jordan so it was quite a surprise to have him sick. Poor Jenna is miserable this week. She has an ear infection and is just in general feeling bad. I think I've held her for the last three days. She played some this morning but is now fast asleep in my lap.
Last night was spent sleeping on the couch. Poor girl. I just want her to feel better and be back to my funny, silly, sweet girl. Jacob ended up in the living room with us and this is how I found him this morning.
I forgot to post this the other day but we got Jasmine's hair cut again. She wanted it to her shoulders and I thought it would look adorable. Jamie wasn't so stoked on the idea as he likes long hair on Jasmine and I, and one day, if it would ever grow, Jenna. Her hair looks adorable and Jamie thought so too of course. She could be bald and Jamie would think she is the cutest thing in the world.
Jordan has a basketball game tomorrow. He is excited. They haven't played the last two weekends because of the holidays. We will be signing him up for baseball soon which he is super stoked about.
